Yes CG thanks for the find - it was great

TF - Did you see Tedesky Trucks version of it - - that was just as good maybe better.

CG THANKS for doing the Blues fix - I too look forward to it each week

AS this great topic was about time traveling - here is a hypothetical proposition  I often propose to my students....
I thought it might be interesting to ask here in this thread as well.

"You have been given the gift of one time travel..... you have the ability to go back in time and witness one and only one historical event. You cannot interfere or change the outcome, only witness it. after the event you will return to the present time.    What event would you choose and why? "

Peatle - Ditto what TF said - 

Holy Moly - I cannot imagine someone convincing me to do that just to sing!

Phill

I have always wondered about that song as well.  " are we human.....?

As for the comparisons - it s comparing apples to oranges to grapes for me....

all had virtue in what they expressed- just traveling on different avenues at different times.

One of the complaints I have today ( as I am heading toward the grumpy side:)  ) is that concerts today are a lot more about show, dancing, holograms, pyrotechnics, etc...    than the actual music.   I believe that is why groups like Eagles, REO. Foreigner, Fleetwood Mac, Kiss,  Lynard Skynard,  and performers like Elton John still sell out the arenas..... I went to Fleetwood Mac a few weeks ago - they were awesome in the 70's,  and now they are in their 70's and they still rocked it !!!!
Just think if the Beatles were still around !
I am currently revamping an area in my house to accommodate my amp, turntable and speakers - just bc I miss playing my LP's.

Whats sad is that you have been on chordie for many years and have only posted 3 times in the forum. - all the same message.

I don not have any of those ad problems.

When you figure it out, I would hope you would join us more often in a more pleasant comment.

GC, Bill, Peatle
Thank you so much for your very kind words.
As you all well know, music from the heart always carries that extra special meaning.
I made a music video with it.  My family is going to Topsail Island for vacation this week and I cannot go due to other obligations...
I am going to Email it to them as an Easter Morning present. 

Thanks again guys - I really appreciate your comments!

Jim Cristaldi performed a cover of my song Beautiful Child 
Hope you like it
https://soundcloud.com/tigljk/jim-kenyo … iful-child 

She is going to perform at the Woodstock 50th Anniversary ( which Ironically will be held at Watkin Glens instead of Bethel)

She is good - she reminded me a bit of Mick Jagger. smile

Interesting stuff !
I was wondering this as I watched - It must cost much more for a progressive rock ( the keyboard guy had like five of them and it looked the guitarist even played some one handed keyboard) band in terms of musical instruments and sound equipment as compared to a regular rock band that has a drummer, bass and a couple of guitars. Would that be correct ?
Jim     

Peatle - great stuff Brother - love the historical account!
The only time change ever really happens is when the people join together and make a stand.  I loved all the pictures in the song video - New Zealand must be  a beautiful nation!

TF -Sina is terrific !  And so young I listened to several other videos of her - wow, just wow!

Bill - that drop D tuning makes Barre chords easier - one finger -   I gotta try that - thanks for the tip.

Peatle - If you want to see another example of old and new together - check out this group of family and friends singers called Foxes and fossils
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S23VK1v9dB8      They were awesome -  that's right - WERE !   The girls got older went to college and now the group is defunct - except for gatherings when they all come home.


TF again - That guitar is like a great wine - better with age   The angle he holds it - does that make it easier to play ?
Love the passion on his face while playing - very cool and plays like silk!


Thanks to all you boys !
Jim

Fantastic truck - great one line jokes there TF
Jim     

Nice cover Richard.
I wish I could play and sing as well as you do.
I was amazed in reading how many songs Jim Steinman had written that were hits for so many huge groups/singers.

Thanks for sharing

Bonnie Raitt is awesome.  She just has that  edge that says I can do anything  a man can do - she has a unique voice and is a very,very talented performer.
Peatle - the duet with Norah Jones is good, beautiful blend of voices, but for me it's way too slowly dragged out.
Thanks for sharing CG, TF and P

Jim     

Bill
That is awesome, brought back many memories for me

I was at a steve Earle,Lucinda Williams last year at Woodstock - the roads getting in are not any better than 1969!
Still an awesome place  to visit! 

In 1974 I got to meet Richie Havens - a really cool guy and very nice.
Uncountable renditions of my buddies and I re-enacting Havens at Woodstock.
AS far as the tuning - all that is probably great for you musicians - I really don't have much of a clue.  smile

Thanks for the info brother!
Peace -
